We are taxed when we earn, we are taxed when we purchase property, we are taxed when we drink and taxed when we smoke, we pay local taxes, fuel taxes and sales taxes and now a doctor is advocating a chocolate tax.

A Scottish GP illiberal fuckwit has called for chocolate to be taxed in the same way as alcohol and cigarettes to tackle increasing levels of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Dr David Walker, a GP in Lanarkshire, said many people eat their entire daily calorie requirement in chocolate, on top of their normal meals.

Illiberal fuckwit

The doctor said chocolate used to be seen as a "treat" but had now become an harmful addiction for some.

Oh here we go, the first step in medicalising "chocolate addiction".

He will put his proposals to colleagues at a BMA conference in Clydebank.

Who, if they have any sense at all will give Dr. Walker short shrift. However I suspect that many of these BMA delegates will be members or trustees of one of the governments favourite charities and will see the anti-chocoholic campaign or advocating a chocolate tax as yet another carriage to be hitched to the gravy train. On FiveLive this morning, Dr Walker's view was endorsed by a representative from the Heart of Mersey charity who, it would seem from their annual report are funded by NHS PCTs and Local Authorities (ergo tax payers and local council tax payers) - they have been added to the fakecharities.org website.

Dr Walker, who is also a trained food scientist and nutritionist, told the BBC news website: "Obesity is a mushrooming problem. We are heading the same way as the United States."

I think you'll find Dr Walker that the USA's obesity problem is in large part due to the the American's propensity for fast food and eating out. Ever been to the States? Hershey Bars are the most disgusting confection and would probably be banned under the Trades Descriptions Act if sold here. No, the problem in the US is portion sizes. A standard US restaurant portion would feed a small African village - for a week.

He added: "The idea of a tax on fatty foods has been raised before and it was seen as unworkable. But I think a special case should be made for chocolate. "It has lost its status as a 'special treat' and I think that if we charged a tax on it then, over a number of years, we could restore that status."

Look you fucking interfering wankstain, chocolate is already taxed. It is subject to 15% sales tax as it is classified as a confectionery - check Her Majesty's Robbing Cunts website if you don't believe me. Rather than tax it, why don't you ration it or issue NHS patients with chocolate safety certificates or have our new ID card chips updated to "allow" us to purchase small portions of Cadbury's Fruit and Nut? But as you seem to be hell bent on telling people what to do, I suggest you swap your white coat and stethoscope for one of these:



To plaigiarise Spike Milligan:

Dr Walker fell down a well
And broke his collarbone
Dr Walker should tend the sick
And leave the well alone.

As Devil's Kitchen is wont to utter: Fucking Hellski!

UPDATE: The BMA rejected Dr Walker's barmy proposal by just two votes. Wonder how many female doctors voted in favour?
